I was able to upload everything successfully on the first try, no hassle or confusion. The uploading process was so user-friendly and quick.
Positive. It allows the convenience of giving different options. So you can find the most suitable choices for your answers. It is a very explainable system allowing for easy overall set-up
Already had an ID Me acct. Tried to use it to sign in to view my SSA notice mentioned in an official email (I had done so successfully in the past). After entering username & info, I was informed further information was required to confirm my identity. Ok; kind of like signing up for direct deposit; front & back of drivers license then a biometric video face scan(?). After this, I got an "unsuccessful" reply with options (seek help, redo). I just went back, tried again using username/pw combo; got right in. Checked the statement. New this time was a multi paragraph list of conditions and cautions including one paragraph saying no responsibility for any use of my personal information whether for official purposes or any other reason. I probably should have stopped when I read that but I didn't.
I'm pretty used to online sign-in routines. This one was pretty bad. I feel sorry for folks who are less computer savvy having to navigate this system. Do better.
Since they don't specify which smart devices work with verification system, uploading did NOT work at first. No instructions or useful alerts or error messages are ever given, you're simply looking at a blank screen wondering what the problem is.
I am disabled an I was able to do our taxes after years of not being able to do them. ID me is so easy to set up and doing your taxes are so easy and best of all it's FREE.
It was a bit long but I felt that they covered alot of bases to help protect me at no cost. That's cool
Of course data security is a concern but we are stuck with risks to work w government agencies. The ID. Me account setup worked ok until the selfie. Then it seemed to crash and I didn't get any confirmation or error message. Not a good way for the process to end
Simple way to safeguard identity, takes very little time, agent was very professional snd very patient in that he was dealing with an old guy!
Not sure what kind of answer your looking for in reference to my experience...
I wasn't aware of all of this was done without my knowledge which brings me to my identity being compramised an brought to my attention in the year 2007 when I started work with corporate n since have been trying to get things in order with interference every step due to a system that now is brought out in public but there is more to this/these accounts that does not need to be public knowledge nor family it is all personal...
No fun, comp[cated and disgusting. Spent hrs doing it and no one accept AI to discuss it with... junk!
It needs verification that who ever is trying to get you peronal information will need to pass, it gave me a sense of security that I would expect from a government entity
It was the simplest of ID verification processes I have ever experienced since this process has eveloved on the internet - it was very easy.
My experience was stressful at first. But once everything was solved, everything was ok. That wait time for the video chat was a little long but worth the wait.
Very good experience, very clear, everyone I dealt with was very clear and kind, everything was perfectly understood, very easy, I am very satisfied.
My technician was precise and accurate with everything definitely returning if I have a problem with the irs login.
I'm losing my ability to walk. You blocked my ability to communicate with my VA medical provider, thus any help slowing the nerve damage progression was blocked by your verification process.
They attended me well, very friendly, the person who attended me very trained in my experience apart was very patient
Una experiencia muy bien, buen trabajo, excelente servicio y atención. Gracias por la atención...!
I think the service is excellent because they cleared up many doubts and really guided me through my life.
